Scope
This document includes requirements of installations of adequate landing and taxiing lighting systems in aircraft of the following categories:
-
a
Single engine personal and/or liaison type
-
b
Light twin engine
-
c
Large multiengine propeller
-
d
Large multiengine turbojet/turbofan
-
e
Military high-performance fighter and attack
-
f
Helicopter
This document will cover general requirements and recommended practices for all types of landing and taxi lights. More specific recommendations for LED lights in particular can be found in ARP6402.
Rationale
The recommendations for sufficient illumination of the runway have been expanded beyond a single test point. A definitions section was added. Appendix C, which describes a method for comparing runway illuminance patterns, has been added. Figures have been moved from the end of the document into the body of the text close to where they are first referenced. Paragraph numbering and organization has been modified for clarity.

Issuing Committee
A-20B Exterior Lighting Committee
The purpose of the A-20 Aircraft Lighting Committee is to provide a forum for the development of aerospace standards in aircraft lighting that will fulfill the needs and requirements of operation control and utility. The scope includes both interior and exterior lighting. A list of the technical reports developed by the A-20 Committee can be obtained by searching on 'aircraft lighting' and selecting 'standards', from the SAE Home Page. A-20 Standards
Reference
* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
